Figure 1.1 Returns distribution has the same VaR. However, the potential loss of the second distribution obviously much larger than the first loss. When percent (100-X) adverse scenario occurs, the value of the portfolio has a second distribution is expected to suffer a greater loss than the first. Therefore, as a method to solve this problem, the loss of the tail should be used (not consider the tail of the distribution) measurement method, which is called the expected shortfall (Hull, and Basu, 2016). Expected shortfall is the expected loss during the N days, provided that the loss is greater than the VaR estimate (Saunders, 2000). For example, X = 99 and N = 10 case, the deficit is expected to average amount portfolio loss 10 days, 10 days when the loss is greater than 99% VaR time. Therefore, the gap is expected to be used as an effective complement to VaR estimates
